Smoking-Cessation Hope for People With Mental Health Conditions

Richard Pruen's experience in a mental health hospital highlighted high smoking rates among patients. Recent studies show various quitting aids work well for individuals with mental health conditions. Vapes, prescription NRT, and websites were popular choices. Despite mental health histories, cessation aids were effective. The UK's smoking rate has decreased, but remains high among those with mental health issues. Individuals smoke to regulate symptoms, and nicotine helps without serious downsides. Pruen, diagnosed with ADHD, autism, and schizophrenia, unintentionally quit smoking with vaping. His advocacy led to better access to safer nicotine products in mental health units. Efforts continue to support smoking cessation for mental health patients.
